Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D....this fall on ABC

[Buehler445]

I thought it was decent.

It's not Mad Men or House. It's trying to be something lighter. More like a Cheers mentality with technology and a mission. It definitely has a Firefly feel to it though.

It depends on where it goes whether it kicks ass or sucks ass bit I thought it was decent enough start.

And IIRC, Dane didn't like Avengers, I'm not surprised he didn't like this. If you didn't like the style of Avengers this will suck.

I didn't like The Avengers. But that said, I didn't say that I didn't like this show, but I do have a hard time understanding how it will move forward successfully in the absence of well-known Marvel superheroes.

I didn't care for the casting of Ming-Na. I like her as an actress, I just don't get her character. The two chickies were hotties and the other agent just "blah" to me.

Clark Gregg is the key and so far, he's delivered. But 24 episodes of Clark Gregg being the most interesting part of the show is a stretch, IMO.

That's fair. And probably accurate. But where I'm at, I can see it developing into a good show. But you're right, the other characters and the plot is going to have to do some heavy lifting.

I'm not really a Marvel guy, but I liked the show. I think major Marvel characters would prove a distraction from the team and their stories. I also like the fact that they can be chasing "new" heroes/villains each week while maintaining some other longer-term arcs.
